Pros

Excellent terms of employment such as DBS fee covered, free uniform, welcome bonus, six month bonus, help with revalidation, good training.

Cons

I think it's not right that sanctuary care has taken away paid breaks meaning staff have to go from 37.5 hours per week to 39 hours per week to be paid the same money.

Thanks for the review and thanks for your feedback around our terms. We’re currently consulting with staff regarding a review of terms due to the multiple sets of terms that we are currently operating. Our intention is to operate a fair set of equitable terms for all staff, one of which includes the proposed removal of paid breaks as not all staff currently benefit from this entitlement, with staff being offered the opportunity to increase their contractual hours if they wish to do so. We’re also very sorry to learn that you don’t feel supported in your role, and as you’re a current employee would encourage you to discuss this with your local HR Business Partner as soon as possible.

Thanks for your review and feedback, which we will certainly take on board. Regarding flexible working, we would encourage you to apply for this via the ‘Flexible working’ application form on Solis, and if you have any queries around it, your line manager or our HR team will be able to advise you. If you have anything else you’d like to discuss, please either have a chat with your line manager or get in touch with your HR Business Partner.
